Learning outcomes

The student is able to:
- apply the principles of programming and logical thinking, and data processing in practice
- solve and model problems using programming concepts and infrastructures in practice
- apply exploratory work and production in co-development processes, creative production, and as a tool for learning
- operate in programmed environments (programmed technology in different areas of life, programmed technology in everyday life)
